Junior is now multi-national! Inter-national! Banana-national! Yes! Josh and Jamie from The Assignment Group joined us in Auckland this week where they not only had ten stellar tips, but threw in an eleventh with a lead for a junior creative position. Crazy-town!

Some time ago we received an email from Mick DiMaria, Creative Director at 72andSunny, offering to help out in any way, shape or form our website which he had just stumbled across. We were stoked. 72andSunny not only has one of the greatest agency names on the planet, they also do some of the best work. Kenny Powers for K-Swiss Tubes anyone? Brilliant. Anyway, we were keen to chat to Mick about his rise to the top from humble CP+B Intern in the early nineties. More specifically we wanted to ... Read More! »

Working in various countries, winning awards, making t-shirts, and pissing off the ... Read More! »

When we asked David Ponce De Leon, CD of BD Network, if he would speak at our April event in Melbourne, we got an email back asking: "what makes you think I have anything interesting to say?" Now, if you've met 'The Ponce' you'd know he's one of the most interesting dudes round town! Having previously been CD at Lifelounge as well as head of Award School, 'The Ponce' knew exactly what we needed to hear. He told us of a golden agency where "clients are completely devoted to the production of ... Read More! »

Hmm, there's nothing like a bit of hippy advice to start the week, right, Stan? A little piece of wisdom from none other than Neil Young for you this week. When Neil is working on a song or creative idea he says that he needs to, “Go sit by the rabbit hole.” So what does he mean by this? I’ll let Neil explain; “If you’re hunting for anything wild - and I consider any creative thing a wild animal - the worst thing you can do is concentrate on it, because it will never ... Read More! »
